Come On, Come On Let's Go

We’ve all done it.
We’re sat in the car at a red light behind someone else, fingers drumming impatiently on the steering wheel and foot gingerly tapping the accelerator in anticipation of the lights changing. Finally, after what seems like an eternity, red becomes red and amber and we’re good to go.
Then...nothing.

The car in front sits there.
The light’s now green and no-one’s moving.
The driver ahead wasn’t paying attention and now you’re sitting there going nowhere fast.
Life is full of opportunities, all we have to do is take them.

So I’m always amazed at how many people miss theirs simply because they give up waiting and take their eye off the ball.
Unfortunately, it often means there are a bunch of people waiting behind them who all miss their opportunity too.
